General Discussion
Short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) deficiency is an unusual autosomal recessive genetic disorder of fatty acid assimilation belonging to a team of conditions known as fatty acid oxidation problems (FOD). It takes place as a result of a deficiency of the short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) enzyme.

Although SCAD was initially believed to generate severe issues consisting of dynamic muscle mass weakness, hypotonia, acidemia, developmental hold-up, or even early death, it is now believed that this condition is both a lot more common and much less extreme in most cases than originally believed at the time of its discovery Twenty Years back. Since the advent of expanded newborn screening programs utilizing tandem mass spectrometry modern technology, many more SCAD babies are being spotted, the majority of whom are well and also asymptomatic.

When signs and symptoms exist, they vary, varying from serious, neonatal acidosis to mild developing delay with hypotonia.
